Rest of the chassis will consist of a full 12pt, Custom length 4link in the rear with strange single adj coil overs, front will be a PA k member w/o motor mounts (gona run a motorplate) UMI upper and lower As with QA1 coil overs..



Rebel, I believe it had a 454 in it..

a few more.. slow progress but progress nonetheless..


Heres a few more..


Got the Rear Frame and SFCs all welded in.. Turns out theres less room for the rear 4link brackets on the frame than we thought there would be so were going to move the brackets to the outside of the frame so all the holes are still accessable for tuning.







Got started in on the main hoop and Halo

Thats pretty damn cool. Did you buy or build the new rear section of frame?

You know, it looks like the car is pretty well stripped........why stop by leaving the door panels on?

We bought the frame rails individual along with the cross member and welded them up.

As for the door panels I left them in so we can get the door bars correct and to clear the arm rests. Im trying to maintain some resemblance to a street car. Might be tough with the 33x22.5x15 Mickey Thompsons out back but im gona try. lol

looks good......Descide your wheels and tires first, then do the rear.


I did my door bar to clear the arm rest also......I would like to see how you run your a pillars and hallow.....I had just bought a kit from S&W,

I like the ones that have a contiuous apillar and then the upper front bar that ties the 2 side together like art morrisons stuff.....I would like to change mine B/c the hallow is too low

Il try to get ahold of my chassis guy thats doin the work and see if he can send me some pics of the Halo and A pillar bars for ya. He actually moved the main hoop inward alil so as the door bars would be straight and not bent, figured it would be stronger that way..

Ive got the wheels and tires picked out i jus need to order them so as soon as it gets back to my garage il get them orderd so i can mock them up and start crunching the numbers for the rear end. should be a fun time
